Accidents blame worn tires and speed for rollover incidents
Troopers say the Rid dick crash was due to worn tread and driver speed on a Ford Mustang, with a ticket possible for driving too fast for conditions and improper tires. In a separate two-vehicle crash on U.S. 24-40, Donald Burnett, 63, of Manhattan, was injured on a southbound Yamaha after laying the bike down to avoid a stopped car, with passenger Doreen Burnett, 65, thrown from the vehicle. Doreen Burnett was treated and released from LMH. Donald Burnett’s condition was unavailable Friday. Richard A. Vandruff, 44, was also involved.

Pipeline expansion sparks debate over Keystone XL in Kansas
Erich Pica of Friends of the Earth condemns the Keystone XL approval as a climate stake on Obama. The plan expands two pipelines from Hardisty through Montana Nebraska to Oklahoma Texas, boosting flow from 591000 to 13 00000 barrels per day with new Kansas pumping stations. Marion County officials cite tax loss of about 30 million over ten years while contractors say Kansas benefited with 481 million spent locally and 8 million in sales tax. Environmental groups warn of higher greenhouse gases and aquifer risk, while supporters tout safety and studies.
